5 Fun Hanukkah Movies And TV Specials

From the ‘Hebrew Hammer’ to a ‘Rugrats Hanukkah’ special, here are some movies that celebrate the Jewish holiday!

-Sarah Polonsky

It’s dreidel time, people! Day One of Hanukkah always makes me very excited. Dusting off my grandmother’s antique Menorah, lighting candles, singing with loved ones, and most importantly, the first of eight presents to come!

Adam Goldberg plays Jewish superhero, Hebrew Hammer, on a mission trying to save Hanukkah from an evil Santa played by Andy Dick. This is NOT a film for the easily offended. However, if you have a sense of humor you will be laughing into your matzo ball soup during this movie.

Check out this clip and start laughing now!

2. Rugrats Hanukkah Special

This episode is fun for the whole family. The kids will learn and the adults will still be entertained as the gang of rugrats embarks on a quest to defeat the meanie of Hanukkah after misunderstanding the word “meaning.”

The Rugrats Hanukkah special IS THE BEST. I learned a lot from it growing up and always loved that they actually made something like this when so many animated specials are about Christmas only. Thanks for bringing it up! I love EG Daily who voiced Tommy and i talk about her a lot on my blog: Cartoons Galore

Some kids TV episodes feature Hannukah… Clifford's Puppy Days, Magic School Bus, and Arthur all have TV Episodes with Hannukah. While it wasn't aired on a major network, my favorite Hanukkah episode is by Shalom Sesame – The Missing Menorah. It is available on Amazon Instant and iTunes.http://kiddievision.com/2015/12/03/the-8-hard-to-…
